We had family traveling from Columbia, Greenville and Clemson, SC to stay for the long holiday weekend. Lots of parking available—we had 5 cars and a small kayak trailer. The Lake Lure train for luggage and coolers worked perfectly to get our items to and from the house. We loved the interior spaces and we had everything we needed. Everyone enjoyed swimming, jumping off the dock and the SUPs got lots of use! We also watched “A Breed Apart” that was filmed at the house and all in the lake close to the house. It was neat to see how much has changed and what we recognized. We highly recommend this beautiful home!! ##### Melanie B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MA R. 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway This home is on a quiet cove, perfect for floating on rafts and using SUPs! Check in was smooth, the property was clean and well equipped. We used all of the outdoor decks and toys extensively.. even enjoyed a trip around the lake on a pontoon boat from a kind neighbor! Highly recommend this property. Grocery store is 3 min drive. Plenty to do and see locally yet we just relaxed at the house and enjoyed the serene surroundings!! There are truly 100 steps down to the home.. your cardio workout is included : ) You will not be disappointed with this hidden gem listing!! ##### MA R. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert A., Cooper City 15 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas getaway. We enjoyed the layout of the house and the fireplace in the rooms was a nice touch. Lake views also add a nice touch. The house sits at bottom of the hill so be ready to walk down and up close to 100 steps, fortunately we are an athletic family so we didn’t mind the steps. We had some minor issues that were resolved by Kathleen who was on sight. We enjoyed Chimney Rock, we went zip lining at The Forge and great places to hike like Little Bradley Falls. We did a goat cheese tour and tasting at Round Mountain Creamery (recommended). We dinned at The Highlands-high end, Fish House-casual and La Strada- Italian. Very nice home and location for a getaway. ##### Robert A.

Also 2 of the 3 fireplaces were not working. It could have been a great stay, but they need to address the problems. ##### John T.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the interior of the house. Could not rent again because access to water is too difficult. Suggest investing in a better lower dock with actual stairs. Pool toys in bad shape and outdoor lounge chairs need cushions House itself is great but we had no TV in bedroom which we love having Also I am not from Irvine ##### Lori R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### James & Daniella H., Asheville, NC 16 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for family! My husband and I just stayed here with our four kids (ages 4-12) and my MIL, and we all had a great time!! The train is a fun way to send all your luggage down to the house (there are a LOT of stairs). We’ve rented a lot of vacation homes, and this was the cleanest one we’ve ever stayed at- it was spotless! The beds were comfy and the two masters had relaxing views of the cove. Each bedroom has its own spacious bathroom. The lowest level, where the living room and kitchen are, was a bit dark and a bit crowded for our big group, but the screened-in porches with ceiling fans offered space to spread out into. The kitchen had everything we needed for easy cooking and the appliances are top-notch! The property manager, Kathleen, was very friendly, helpful, and responsive when we had questions. Plenty of towels, and also lake towels were provided! We spent a lot of time in the water with the kids, and the cove is a quiet, safe place to swim. The stand up paddle boards were a lot of fun, and there was also a large assortment of inflatable toys that the kids loved. I had Verizon service at the house. This house is so close to Ingles and we also enjoyed a lunch at The Highlands restaurant (a few minutes’ drive away). Lake Lure Adventure Company is right around the corner if you want to rent a boat. We also walked around to the other side of the cove and enjoyed delicious dessert at the restaurant of The Lodge on Lake Lure. We can’t wait to go back! ##### James & Daniella H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mike f. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing The listing is underselling itself. The place is incredible. The 100 steps are no big deal and the luggage ‘train’ is clutch. Such a chill wonderful stay. One of the best places on the lake and minutes from the grocery store and restaurants. Will 100% be staying here again ##### mike f.

There are a lot of steps to get down to the house, but this was made clear and we loved that the house walked right out to the lake. Everything was as communicated, couldn’t ask for an easier renting experience. ##### Jeff H.

Lots of wonderful features. Highly recommend. Beautiful lake front, screen in porches, etc. Very nice. However, fancy shower in main bedroom on 2nd floor did not drain well which distracted from an otherwise wonderful property. The concern is greater given that others have shared having the same issue based on online reviews. ##### Kane M.

We enjoyed our stay and it's a great location and property. The one thing to note is the house is down at the lake and there are a lot of stairs to climb (over 100). If you don't mind a little exercise you will love the property. My understanding is they are working on fixing the train or will be putting in a new lift. ##### Jamie E. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne B. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake Lure Long weekend Very nice, spacious home. Loved staying in one of the coves, much calmer, quieter access to water activities. We brought our small boat, quick drive from marina. With the train out during our stay ( which we knew way ahead of time) we used the boat to go to/from to avoid the steps. It worked out well. Will stay again 😊 ##### Suzanne B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen E. 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Good intentions, many disappointments Initial appearance of the home was good. It was well stocked and had some thoughtful, small touches inside. Location on the lake cove was fine and quiet as well. It was obvious the homeowners intended on helping guests feel comfortable which we appreciated. Unfortunately, those intentions were overshadowed by two external “selling points” of the house being non-functional. The train and slide. Also, as our trip progressed, other details emerged that had us questioning the standard of cleanliness and attention to detail from the maid service. Although the listing said the train could be down on RARE occasions due to routine maintenance, we assumed “rare” meant pretty reliable so we took a chance but were disappointed when we arrived and it wasn’t working. An attached note stated an electrician would arrive the next day to fix it (which never happened). So, 106 stair steps later to unload (X’s 5, up and down), we finally settled in. Our kids, aged 10 and 8, immediately ran for the slide but stopped right away after seeing the obvious damage at the end of it. A large crack was very evident under several rounds of duct tape. The tape was clearly put in place as a quick fix but worn down just enough that the crack was showing through. The tape was also so thick it created a mound that would have been uncomfortable and dangerous to slide over at full speed. So the slide was off limits for the duration of our trip. Despite multiple attempts to reach the guest contact, no one answered or responded to our concerns so we gave up. As our trip progressed, it was clear the maid service missed some detailed cleaning. The coffee maker had an old, dried up filter with coffee grinds splattered inside. There was dirt and dust under beds and behind doors and two shower drains were full of old hair causing water to pool around the drain (yes, we pulled out the hair in one). We went to do a laundry load and there was mildew and clumped, moldy buildup in the rubber around the inside of the washer. Lots of missed details. Among these issues, we had a pretty substantial problem that ultimately required us to end our trip early. Because the issue was handled swiftly and appropriately by the Evolve and VRBO rental groups (different from our “guest contact” who was non-responsive), we will refrain from adding it to our review. Clearly, it was not the trip we envisioned. The disappointments were so many that I doubt we’ll take a chance on this home again. ##### Karen E.

It is clean and fairly well stocked. The location is great. However this could be a 5 star home if only they could fix a few of the issues. We did email the management with a list. They did acknowledge our emails but never fixed any of the items. For example we had a broken blind, two shower faucet fixtures were falling off, a bathroom pocket door was not useable because it was stuck and a bathroom toilet flush handle was almost impossible to use. Last but not least, unfortunately we left some items on the train/tram. We called 3 times and were told they would look at the surveillance videos and check with housekeeping to see if we could get our items. No one has reported back to us regarding this, Granted it was our fault for not checking this before we departed but sad to know someone has taken our things (wine and glasses). Also we can't emphasize enough that you will need the train to be in working order for loading and unloading. There are 100 stairs that you need to climb to get to and from the house from the parking area. If not it would be a deal breaker. All that being said, it is a nice house and in a good location. I would still recommend it. ##### Lynne ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl S. 19 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best VRBO Experience EVER My family has been using VRBO homes for years - this one is the best! Everything in the home: bedding, bathrooms, kitchen, is high quality and top notch. We spent hours on the decks, swimming in the lake and grilling in the evening while enjoying the tranquility of the lake. The owners of this home have made this a vacation destination. Anyone looking into staying at Lake Lure - this is the house!! ##### Carl S.
